New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
1 Job continued speaking:
1
Job continued his discourse:
2 “I long for the years gone by when God took care of me,
2
“How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,
3 when he lit up the way before me and I walked safely through the darkness.
3
when his lamp shone on my head and by his light I walked through darkness!
4 When I was in my prime, God’s friendship was felt in my home.
4
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
5 The Almighty was still with me, and my children were around me.
5
when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
6 My steps were awash in cream, and the rocks gushed olive oil for me.
6
when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
